The Zambian international believes Pirates have a ‘good strike force’ after bolstering their attack by acquiring the services of Vincent Pule, Kudakwashe Mahachi and Meshack Maphangule.

‘Ja, football sometimes speaks in two languages,’ says Mulenga.

‘Sometimes you can have good players but if you are not playing according to their potential there is nothing you can achieve.

‘I can say we have a good strikeforce. We just have to encourage each other, support each other and work hard.’
